Tag Archives: blueberry galette

Can’t believe summer is half-way through already ! I have been really busy, driving the kids around to different activities, keeping them occupied. If you are a parent, you would know, summer is actually busier than school days ! But they are having so much fun…..swimming, trampoline park, bowling, sleep over…..Although I am exhausted at the end of the day, seeing their happy faces makes it all worth it. Hey, kids are supposed to sleep in, play lots and eat lots during the summer, right ? With all the activities, meal times for us may not always be as regular and as healthy as I’d like. To balance that out, I make sure I stock lots of fruits at home. Luckily my kids are not picky eaters and love the summer fruits…blueberries, cherries, watermelon, peaches, etc. And of course I use them to make desserts, like this blueberry galette. It’s basically a rustic blueberry pie and you don’t need to worry about making the crust neat and tidy. It makes a perfect summer dessert with some vanilla ice cream or whipped cream !

Makes one galette

For the crust

90 g unsalted butter (cut into small pieces and chilled)

100 mL ice-cold water

200 g cake and pastry flour, sifted

15 g granulated sugar

2.5 g salt

For the filling

200 g fresh blueberries

30 g granulated sugar

7.5 mL lemon juice

Zest of 1/2 small lemon

7.5 g cornstarch

10 g graham cracker crumbs

To make the crust, combine flour,sugar and salt

Rub in chilled butter with hands until resemble coarse crumbs, there should be pea-sized lumps of butter

Add cold water and mix until dough just starting to form

Transfer to a lightly floured surface, and press dough together (Do not knead)

Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight (I actually doubled the amount of ingredients and kept half of the dough in the freezer for later)
